He made Affidavit to a Similar Statement for the purpose of getting

Mack Goolsberry
I, Mack Goolsberry aged Sixty four years, a citizen of the United States, do, upon oath, testify and declare, that, in the year one thousand seven hundred and Seventy Seven I enlisted in the army of the Revolution, against the common enemy of my country, for the term of "during the war," and served in the company commanded by Capt. William Brown and in the regiment No. Occasionally under command of Colonel Charles Harrison of the Boisieria line; and that I continued in the service aforesaid until the close of the war, in seventeen hundred and eighty-three, when I was regularly discharged from the Service  regiment, commanded by Colonel  was paid at Marianna
My discharge is now lost or mislaid, so that I cannot produce it to corroborate the above statement. I further declare, that I have never received a warrant for the Bounty Land promised to me on the part of the United States; nor have I ever assigned or transferred my claim to that gratuity in any manner whatsoever: therefore,  Know all men by these presents, that I,  Mack Goolsberry aforesaid, do hereby constitute and appoint _____ of the county of _____ and state of _____ to be my true and lawful attorney, for me and in my name to demand and receive from the Secretary of War of the United States, or of such other person as is duly authorised to issue and deliver the same, a warrant for the quantity of Land due to me as aforesaid, and to sign a receipt or acquittance therefor; and my said attorney is hereby fully authorised and empowered to constitute and appoint one or more substitutes or attorneys under him, for the special purposes above expressed.
Attest,
I, George Robertson aged Thirty three years, a citizen of the United States, do, upon oath, declare, that I have been long acquainted with Mack Goolsberry who has subscribed the above declaration in my presence, and well know that he is the identical person he therein represents himself to be; and, further, I believe that he did perform the military service therein stated, because I did obtain for him a pension by a copy of the records at Annapolis in Maryland which can be seen by a reference to the pension registry at Washington City.  G. Robertson
Before me, John Williams Justice of the peace for the above county personally appeared the above named Mack Goolsberry subscriber to the foregoing declaration, and in my presence acknowledged the power of attorney thereto subjoined to be his free act and deed; and, likewise, personally appeared George Robertson who hath subscribed the above certificate of identity, both to me well known to be men of respectability and truth, and made solemn oath to the truth of the depositions by them respectively subscribed, this 27th day of July 18 24
Williams Justice of the Peace. G6
In testimony that the above written John Williams was a magistrate authorised to administer oaths, and take acknowledgments, &c. in the state of Kentucky at the above date, and that his name there subscribed appears to me to be his usual signature, I have hereunto affixed the county seal, and subscribed my name and quality, at Lancaster this 27th day of February 18 24
